It was the first time I went abroad alone, because I didn't know English and German, I didn't expect to go through customs and security checks in transit at Frankfurt Airport in Germany.
I recorded the transfer process in Frankfurt for the reference of my friends in the future. The airport is too big, and it took 60 minutes to get off the plane, go through customs, go through security, and find the next boarding gate smoothly. Also, I'm transferring in the same terminal, so if I have to transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, it will take longer.
I'm flying from Hong Kong to Frankfurt Airport in Germany and connecting here to Oslo, Norway. Check in at Hong Kong airport, check in your suitcase, and print out the two-way ticket, choose the location first, everything is very smooth, 20kg suitcase directly checked, to Norway to pick up.
I bought 23 kg of luggage, but I didn't expect the box to be 20 kg
China Mobile's network on Lufthansa is fantastic, my mobile phone opened international roaming, but I didn't expect that there was a China Mobile network 4G on the plane. Immediately after arriving at Frankfurt Airport, the airport free network, the signal is very good, than the Hong Kong airport that will be broken really free network, is too good to rub.
The first thing you do when you get off the plane: look for the flight information screen! No matter which channel you are in, there is an electronic screen that is constantly looping in the middle.
Find your next gate first
Frankfurt Airport is the largest international airport in Germany and the second largest in Europe, and the signposts inside are very clear, so find your next gate and follow the directions.
The number and length of the passage, no need to elaborate, really, there are many people, don't waste time, follow the signs.
Ubiquitous electronic displays and road signs
I used a Schengen visa to go to Norway and transfer to Germany, and I started to think that I didn't need to go through customs. However, people who get off the same plane go to different cities in Europe, follow the road signs, as long as they do not leave the airport, we can only reach the boarding gates by going through customs and manual security checkpoints, and then swiping the electronic ticket code into the gate.
Go through customs first
I don't know if it's true, but people from any country in front of me will be asked, and I have seen people provide other information on the spot.
Anyway, I don't understand English and German, holding a stack of A 4 paper such as printed round-trip air tickets, accommodation hotel reservation information, etc., the customs officer asked, I directly said that I didn't understand, pointed out to her to show her my ticket, she gestured, asked me to scan my mobile phone, and then stamped on the passport, left, the process took less than a minute, faster than the people on the same plane to pass the customs.
The queue for security check is similar to that of other airports, and in winter, both men and women have to take off their big coats, and after the flight, the female customs officer checks again.
Follow the signs to reach Area A, walk to the border and use the ticket to swipe and pass through the gate.
I finally arrived at my A30 gate an hour later, and I had reserved three and a half hours for my connecting flight, but I didn't expect the heavy snow in Germany to delay my boarding for another half hour.
Let's have a German bread and a cup of coffee here.
German bakery
Due to heavy snowfall, the plane stayed on the runway for another two hours after boarding before taking off.
The first time I saw the snow plow team at the airport, it was so spectacular and domineering.
